The Summer issue of ACM XRDS is here! The issue is centered around computing, culture, postcoloniality and questions of power. In it, many fascinating authors ask whether an Anglo-European culture of computing could be made more aware of its politics and what alternative cultures of computing could be realized. Our amazing issue editors, Ahmed Ansari (CMU) and Raghavendra Kandala (CMU), have tried to give the readers a slice of the incredible heterogeneity and plurality of critical scholarship and practice around the world.

The issue provides a brief introduction to decolonial computing and raises various issues around design and innovation in China, participation of Africans in the global HCI community, the life at the forefront of Indonesia's tech emancipation, and plans to develop hundreds of smart cities in India, revealing the complex politics of technological development and class.
